Industry Executives and Government to Gather at the Green Transportation & Logistics World Summit in Zurich
London (PRWEB) December 3, 2007 -- The Summit, being held in Zurich on 20-21 February 2008, is the place where industry leaders from shippers, logistics providers, carriers, ports and government bodies will gather to discuss the business case for greening their supply chains through transportation and logistics initiatives - and - at the same time, learn how to save money, and improve efficiency and customer relations.
Over 30 expert speakers from industry leading companies will be there, including Nike, Hewlett-Packard, Schneider Electric, IBM, GE Energy, Lexmark, Cisco, Motorola, Intel, Fujitsu, Sharp Electronics, Deutsche Post World Net, Kuehne & Nagel, Wincanton, Christian Salvesen, Agility Logistics, the Swiss Federal Ministry of Transport, The UK Freight Transport Association, the European Environmental Agency and many more.

This timely event comes on the brink of a renewed commitment by the EU to develop a network of green freight transport links across Europe, with railways and inland waterways receiving ?8 billion of EU funding for trans-European transport network (TEN-T) projects for the period 2007 to 2013. While opportunities in green logistics abound, and interest in new environmental transportation options is high, the knowledge and resources necessary to implement green initiatives successfully is still all too often lacking.
The goal of the Green Transportation & Logistics World Summit is to bring together the key industry experts and decision makers to educate the industry and facilitate new partnerships and collaborative greening efforts between associates and competitors. The aim of the event is to form the participants into a united group with the action plans and knowledge they need to go green the business-efficient way, and communicate these efforts to their customers, partners, and the public.
In an era of rising fuel and energy costs, and complex environmental rules and regulations, the summit is designed to teach delegates to isolate the opportunities to improve relationships with customers and partners, set a realistic logistics greening agenda early, thus reducing their bottom line and their environmental footprint.
